CHARLES MILLER, OF INGERSOLL, ONTARIO, GAXADA.

MIXED PAINT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,857, dated October 20, 1885.

Application filed June 15, 1885. Serial No. 16?,745. (Specimens) I take forty to fifty gallons of loss um or 1 resinous oilten to fifteen gallons linseed-01la ten to Hi't'een gallons of 3 tion. I then mix thoroug y. en ae for body from seventy-five to one hundred pounds of lrinces fiiitallic or other pulverized iron 20 ore 'fifty" o ven y-five pounds of FOSSIG red 1; and fifty to seventy-five pound'sof IlooE- son or other Venetian red. Then mix thoroughly. I then a e a out two gallons of otash solution, about one gallon co er mo two gallons of sal-soda solutibnf'dne to two gallons of um so ution,

four to eight gallons of white-lime solution,

andtwotothree gallonso 1 mn Drier.

Then mix thoroughly. Tlidpaint ls tlien ready to be ground in a paint-mill. After being thus thoroughly ground and incorporated it is ready for use.

I have found that it is of importance that the solutions above referred to should be with- 3 5 in certain degrees test. Thus the silicate-ofsoda solution should be made from, say, fifty gallons of water and two to five pounds of silicate of soda in the form of thick sirup, so as to make a solution to range between 1 and 15 test.

To make the potash solution, take fifty gallons of water, to which add five to fifteen pounds of potash, so that the solution will range between 1 and 15 test.

To make the copperas solution, take fifty gallons of water, to which add seventy to eighty pounds of powdered copperas, so that the solution shall range between 5 and 15 test.

To make the sal-soda solution, take fifty gallons of water, to which add-ninety to one hundred pounds of powdered sal-soda, so that the solution shall range between 6 and 18 test.

To make the alum solution, take fifty gal- 5 lons of water, to which add one hundred to one hundred and ten pounds of powdered alum, so that the solution shall range between 4 and 12 test.

To make the white-lime solution, take fifty gallons of water, to which add seven to ten pounds of white stone lime, so that the solution shall range from 3 to 9 test.

I prefer in each case that the solutions thus made shall each, after being thoroughly stirred, be permitted to stand about ten hours before using. Paraffine oil or other oil of a cutting nature may e a e if desired, while the ingredients are being mixed, which will cause the paint to flow more freely under the brush. These ingredients need not all be employed in the same paint, although I prefer to employ them all as stated. The resulting paint in that case is a fire and water proof article of excellent quality; but the copperas so- 5 lution, sal-soda solution, and alum solution may sometimes be omitted, since their principal purpose is to add to the fire-proof quality of the paint. It is also apparent that the Princes metallic, the Rossie red, and Venetian red may also be dispensed with and other similar body ingredients be employed. These particular ingredients, however, are well known for this purpose, and are the ones I would usually employ. So, also, the gloss, gum, or resinous oil and linseed-oil might be displaced and other oils be employed in their stead without departing materially from my invention. These oils, however, in the proportions named, form a cheap oleaginous ingredient very effectual for the purpose. 'When the solution of lime is added as the final ingredient, the whole mass quickly thickens up and assumes body and consistence. My paint may, therefore, assume two distinct conditions: first, that in which there appear the oil, silicate-of-soda solution, and body and color ingredients, potash solution, and solution of lime, with the fire-proof ingredientsto wit, the copperas solution, sal-soda solution, and alum solution; and, second, a condition in which there are present the same ingredients without the said fire-proof ingredicuts.
